Add article description

Warren White is a professor emeritus, and a former Research Oceanographer at the Marine Biological Research Division at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.[1]

White, with 'Buzz' Bernstein, was instrumental in the development and operation of the TRANSPAC XBT Volunteer Observing Ship program.[2][3] Between 1976 and 1984, commercial ships crossing the Pacific Ocean recorded expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data. This data became instrumental in a number of studies, particularly around the Kuroshio Current.[4][5] As well as its direct oceanographic value, this data was also important for determining the scale of features of interest, thus influencing the design of later observational networks.[6][7]

His research interests included:

He is known for his work on the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave.[10][11][12][13]
